Mobile Engineer iOS

Skyscanner operates in a Tribes and Squads model and we have built an engineering culture where there is a high level of trust, autonomy and transparency. Our engineers work in autonomous squads where they can create their own backlog, ship code whenever they want and don’t have dependencies in order to deliver to the traveller. Our engine uses global scale services, big data and machine learning to assemble, normalise and make sense of real time information from our thousands of partners. Skyscanner can offer you large scale, complex problems where you can reach over 80 million monthly active users whilst enjoying a high level of autonomy and influence and a flexible working environment where you can thrive.

Our engineering principles are:

* We have a clear definition of success for every piece of work.

* We ship multiple times a day and deliver customer value week in, week out.

* We use design reviews to validate every significant change.

* We deliver our products using our defined technology standards.

* We peer review every change.

* Our Definitions of Done include being live in production… responsibly.

* You build it, you run it.

Most importantly, these are organic beliefs. We iterate. We learn. We grow. And our principles adapt with us.

We’re currently building some exceptional tooling, with deploy pipelines out of the box, allowing our engineers to ship changes quickly. We’re also working on server side/hybrid rendering strategies for our iOS and Android apps, as well as looking at React Native.

What you can expect as a software engineer

* A supportive, trusting and transparent working environment

* A place to look at things differently and challenge and offer solutions

* Overall responsibility of multiple key product feature components within your area

* You will define and implement services that make up a complex sub system within the scope of your area

* Collaboration across all relevant product engineering development lifecycles

* An opportunity to influence the engineers around you

What we are looking for

* Previous job experience as a mobile iOS engineer ideally within an internet economy business

* Metrics driven approach to decision making, prioritisation and continuous deployment

* Proven competencies in developing, releasing and maintaining native apps

* Use of agile/lean methodologies for continuous delivery and improvement

* Comfortable balancing trade offs between technical, analytical and product needs

* Strong customer focus and appreciation of what makes good product, UX and design

* You make others better proactively through code reviews, documentation, technical guidance and mentoring

* You will work with your team to break down solutions into small tasks to be completed autonomously

* We don’t expect you to be an expert in all of these technologies but would anticipate experience with some, combined with a curiosity for others: Swift, Objective-C, Cocoa, Viper, Gradle, Microservices, Docker, Sketch

What else can we offer you……

We are proud to have a working environment that sets our employees up for success. You will work out of the growing Palo Alto-based office with competitive benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k matching), a pet-friendly office, free parking, fun and competitive team building events, catered lunches and annual travel perks
